Hi, this is a backport of these patches which I did for our kernels: c237ee5eb33b bpf: add bpf_patch_insn_single helper 3df126f35f88 bpf: don't (ab)use instructions to store state e245c5c6a565 bpf: move fixup_bpf_calls() function 79741b3bdec0 bpf: refactor fixup_bpf_calls() 8041902dae52 bpf: adjust insn_aux_data when patching insns b2157399cc98 bpf: prevent out-of-bounds speculation I offer it here for use in stable 4.4, if there is no better/simpler backport available yet.
